Service bulletin SERVICENEWS - AC
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
"SERVICE NEWS ARTICLES - AFTERMARKET CODE READERS DO WHAT THEY’RE DESIGNED TO DO: THEY OFFER A LOW-COST MEANS TO READ DTCS AND CLEAR THEM. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSING ACURA VEHICLES, THEY FALL SHORT WHEN COMPARED TO THE HDS. THE HDS CAN NOT ONLY READ DTCS AND CLEAR THEM, BUT THANKS TO ITS IN CONNECTION, IT GIVES YOU DTC TROUBLESHOOTING AND ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS INFO TO HELP YOU PROPERLY SERVICE THE VEHICLE. MANY TIMES HAVING THAT INFO CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SUCCESSFUL REPAIR AND A COMEBACK. SO, MAKE GOOD USE OF THE HDS; IT’S WELL WORTH YOUR TIME."
